  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,250

Hi, I’m Kelsey! I am a wedding photographer! I am obsessed with dogs. I will never not acknowledge a dog near me by saying “puppers”. It is what it is. I would 100% rather be on the beach somewhere with palm trees. I am constantly daydreaming about being in the tropics. I love the color black. If we work together, there is a high chance that will be my outfit color of choice.

Lindsay Stayton began her career in the photography industry in 2008. Her first gig was photographing The Worlds Largest Music Festival, Summerfest. In 2010, Lindsay was asked to photographed her first wedding after a couple stated "If you can photograph Flava Flave, then you can most definitely photograph our wedding!" Most couples have requested Lindsay to continue capturing life’s candid moments for their growing families, which led to her tag line: “Your Family Historian”.

Chelsea Matson Photography 

5.0

Milwaukee, WI
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,600

Hi! I grew up in NY and came to Milwaukee 8 years ago - you could say it was for love. We have settled in and embraced our new community. I have been so lucky to always have working with people at the forefront of everything I do. From teaching to non profit work, photography allows me to do all of those things. I LOVE being outside and exploring new places. We live on the shores of Lake Michigan and visit the beach regularly year round. When I am not frolicking and photographing amazing people, I am usually spending time with my nutty little family outside.

It’s been over a month after my wedding and I’m still wondering if it is acceptable to love you wedding photographer more then your husband??? I can not speak more highly of Chelsea! When we first met I knew it was meant to be, her passion for capturing love and telling a love story just pours out of her. When looking for a wedding photographer we wanted someone who was easy going, professional, fun to work with, and loved love as much of us, Chelsea blew these “requirements” out of the water. Not only is she an amazing, kind, caring person but her work is is equally amazing. We love that her photos are edited in a natural way and that she captures all of the small natural moments. Nothing every seemed forced! My husband and I highly recommend Chelsea Matson Photographer! We are so grateful that she came into our lives (for good now) and could capture the most important day of our lives.

Milwaukee, WI
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,250

The goal is simple, that you fully live and enjoy your day. My approach is built on kindness, fun, and caffeine. My style is documentary first, complimented with editorial portraits. Your wedding day is a collection of fleeting yet unforgettable moments. All you need to do is be fully present and celebrate with all of your people in one place. I want all the authentic, unfiltered excitement. I want you to be free to dance in the rain, to jump in the pool, and to embrace the imperfect. Most importantly, I want for you the immeasurable joy of this once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Great to work with, professional, and wonderful quality photos!

Milwaukee, WI
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,499

In 2011, Scott Patrick founded Cream City Weddings to provide a collection of quality, creative services under one roof. His team includes talented photographers, videographers, album and graphic designers, DJs, officiants and event planners. The focus, however, is still he same, to collaborate with clients to create top quality images that tell the story of their business, social event, or family milestone. If you're looking for authentic, creative, documentary styled images for your business or event, please contact us. We’ll collaborate with you to create an amazing set of images to tell your story.

I absolutely loved working with Cream City Weddings. They gave me exactly what I asked for (which was amazing ) but my inability to be open minded and consider other possibilities has left me with some regrets. The photography was great and I love looking through my album but I wish I would have been open to the possibility of a video. Truthfully when I was planning my wedding everything came down to cost and I could not see past the bottom line. Cream City Weddings was incredibly respectful of my budget and did not push me however I wish they would have. Be open to different possibilities and make sure you communicate with your photographer because you get one chance to do this.

Dennis Felber Photography 
Milwaukee, WI
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,000

It's all about having fun! If you love what you do it isn't work! You will notice that I am always in motion, always looking for that unique angle, reflection or to get that shadow in just the right place. I have even been known to climb a tree to get that special perspective from above. I will always offer suggestions for those adventurous enough to try something new for some great photos. Photographing weddings for over 20 years, I still find new ways to approach the day. It is more than just documenting the day but also about capturing the emotions, expressions and laughter with your friends and family.

Puneet S Ghai Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves Milwaukee, WI

My photography business was born in sunny San Diego, but a new adventure has led me to the midwest! I currently live in Milwaukee, Wisconsin with my wife, our two cats, Nesta and Zinnia, and our dog, Clementine. I studied Neurobiology, Physiology and Behavior at UC Davis and went on to my Masters at UCSD in Healthcare Administration. Through all of this professional development, photography has been my constant and my creative outlet. I have been capturing moments for the past six years. To me, photography is a practice and a ritual. I am inspired by emotion, movement and adventure. I can't wait to meet you and capture your adventures.

Not sure if you'd call our wedding "weird" or "unconventional" but we certainly had our fair share of odd moments. We were originally worried about hiring any photographer just because we didn't know how well we'd be able to communicate every little oddity our community would throw at us on our day especially since there were bound to be surprises. Then comes Puneet. The smile on his face always reminding us that this was our day, his kind words telling us we were doing great, he rolled with everything we threw at him and got so many amazing pictures. Pretty sure we even got him on the dance floor once. As my mom-in-law said afterwards "It's so great that you found a photographer who just instantly felt like part of the family. Thank you Puneet. It would not have been the same without you.

Allie Amber Photo

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,550
  • Serves Milwaukee, WI

I have a passion for travel and I love meeting new people and hearing their crazy (or not so crazy) stories. I love trying new things and walking around a new city until my feet bleed (that's literally happened...still love you tho, NYC). I'm a major extrovert, but I have a great appreciation for the little things in life. You'll likely find me sipping some strong coffee at a local café or snuggled up on the couch with some wine, pizza, and my husband on a rainy day. With a camera in hand, I am probably the most annoying person to travel with, stopping every ten feet to take a picture. Sorry not sorry.

Awarded Best of Zola
Allie did a fantastic job with not only our wedding, but our engagement photos as well! She understood what we wanted the photos to look like and made the shoots themselves so fun! My husband does not like being in photos, but she was able to create an experience where we were able to get many great photos of us that felt natural. I have gotten many compliments from friends and family on our photos and I have Allie to thank for that - could not sing higher praises!

Retired actress, ex-celebrity nanny, Los Angeles expat turned editorial photographer and intimate chronicler of your love, I'm Ashton.

I value love, human connection and well executed visions coming to fruition as fully experienced celebrations, documented honestly and preserved as imagery that you can feel forever.

If you are looking for a photographer - you can stop your search!! Ashton Lynette Photography is the best! We looked at other photographers, but one call with Ashton and we knew we found our match! She was so easy to work with, she listened to our requests, had great ideas for additional photo-ops and paid attention to all the details so we could just worry about enjoying our special day! We were blown away when we got the pictures! She captured our wedding day beautifully and we can enjoy the memories for a lifetime!

George Street Photo and Video has one story to tell: Yours. With over twenty years of experience, our award-winning team has been lucky to capture thousands of weddings for our couples across the United States. Specializing in both wedding photography and videography, we offer affordable and customizable packages starting at $1295 that are designed to suit your unique vision and budget. We even offer a fun style test to help us match you with a photographer that aligns with the vibe of your day.

Awarded Best of Zola
I’m SO satisfied with our experience booking with George Street! I was drawn to them because I thought they were more reasonably priced compared to what some individual photographers are charging these days (we’re in the Seattle market), but I didn’t feel like the price advantage came at a sacrifice of quality. I loved the photos our photographer John C. took (who was AMAZING!) for both our engagement/portrait session and of course the photos on the day of the wedding. He did a fantastic job capturing all the beautiful memories we made that day, and we are so grateful. The booking process was really simple, too—I arranged a meeting with one of their sales reps (Amber) who did an excellent job explaining exactly how their company works, the packages available, how to choose your photographer and so on. Once we booked with them, we were given access to an online portal to put in all the necessary info that would be passed along to the photographer. One thing I would say is that because you are contracting with a company and not the individual photographer, you aren’t able to communicate directly with the photographer very often. You really are hiring them for photography only, so collaborating with them on the event timeline and other details is not really an option. Any questions you have generally need to be sent via the wedding coordinators at George Street, as you won’t even receive your photographer’s email or phone number until you actually meet them (it’s possible this is not the case for everyone, but just our experience). To be clear, this was NOT an issue for us at all, but just something to be aware of if a more hands-on photographer that can help with coordination and planning is really what you’re looking for.

More than a decade ago, two sisters - knew there had to be a better way to allow talented photographers and videographers to focus on what they do best -- create gorgeous art -- while providing couples with better support in the planning process. Together, they created an all-inclusive, stress-free environment where couples can choose from talented local photographers and videographers and work with a small team of planning experts equipped and eager to make everything a success. With the pressure gone, you can truly enjoy your big day. Relax and rest assured that all the emotional and moments will be documented with unmatched quality.

Our photographer was on time and very professional. When I was running behind, she improvised on the spot! I love the pictures that she captured of me and my husband by the pond. The communication during the planning process was top notch and our experience was more than we could have imagined! We would 10/10 recommend OLAS.

We first booked Clayton for our engagement photos in January 2022. It was cold but Clayton kept the mood light and fun, giving us prompts and conversation starters that really helped put us at ease in front of the camera. It was such a fun day and after seeing the photos, we knew we needed him for our wedding as well! Clayton and his husband were absolutely amazing on the wedding day, our bridal party had such a great time laughing and joking with them during our getting ready and first look pics! We even had guests coming up and telling us how much fun the photographers were! And the reception shots...I will never be able to narrow them down, they managed to capture just about every guest showing off their best dance floor moves! Truly so grateful for the amazing work, our photos are absolutely stunning. We definitely hope to use Lux Everlasting for all of our future portrait needs :)
